Um, I'm not sure if you are trying to enter a question in the system, or what, but the Vatican is NOT the largest library in the world. In fact, I don't think it is even in the top ten. So, your question could be reject because you have the wrong answer.

Don't worry, the correct answer is ok at this library question, and it is not the Vatican.

I think it was brought up before that "There is no such.." or "none of the above" questions all get labeled as bad questions. So if you think of a choice for number 4, it will probably go through. Although, the word "plasma" being in all caps could be rejected as a spelling error.

What kind of error did it say you had? I don't see a spelling error, but I do see Alberta is the only one that is not a country. It could simply be an error on the evaluators part because if you're not familiar with it, Banff looks like it needs a vowel.

just like ChaoticGemini said, Alberta is the only one which is not a country. not a spelling error indeed but you get your question back for rewriting.

In which of these environments you will not find penquins?

Ice
Desert
Forest
Mountain


This question is withdrawn from the database, because 75% of the respondents did not know the answer.


Now, how comes this is a reason to drop the question? My question is logicall, anyone could find the answer by google in seconds, and after all they get the answer if they are wrong once. So is it so bad they learn something all these people? All the questions i answered wrong i considere them mostly a way to learn something new.

this is given not by the admins but by the respondents who got your question. if 75% gives wrong answer, your question gets out of the database automatically. so you may think it is easy to find the correct answer but seems the players didn't think it that way.

I didnt say is easy to find, but is not a very hard one. I just think this type of questions help increase the variety of the quiz, most of it is who wrote this and that, actors, singers and countries (especially china ). Even by getting it wrong, they see the answer and learn a nice trivia fact.

Since i got my se for the question i am not complaining, just posting this as a thought to the admins.

@Stekkos: IMHO this is the prime example of "negative" question. A lot of people (including me after the first read) will answer Ice, because they are just lazy to read the question properly (or because the association of the penguins - ice). Only those kind of questions get more than 75% wrong answers imho.

Ok so my latest quiz question got rejected. This is the question

Sponge Bob wears what shape of pants?

Square
Triangle
Oval
No Pants


The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.


How is this question only known by a special group of people? Sponge Bob square pants is a world wide watched cartoon. It even airs in china, according nickoleon website. I guess I am confused how this is a specail group knowledge.

Try the question with a reference point. Something like: The cartoon character Sponge Bob wears what shape of pants? I don't know if it will work, but it makes it more answerable.
(On a personal note, this is much less special group knowledge than several recent questions I have had. Sponge Bob is marketed to an extreme in books, toys, games, etc.)

guess because of the 'no pants' option. read a bit back and see it has been mentioned: if something doesn't exist, don't ask about it. however, it should have got bad answers evaluation. or too easy
